PowerShell Help

Hi guys

first time poster so please excuse any bad formatting!!

really strange one - i have a very simple script:-

Install-Module -Name SpeculationControl -Force

$vms = Get-ADComputer -Filter {(operatingsystem -like “Server”) -and (enabled -eq $true)} -SearchBase “dc=xxx,dc=com” | Select Name

$result = foreach ($vm in $vms) {Invoke-Command -ComputerName $vm.name ${function:Get-SpeculationControlSettings}}

i currently can run this in an ISE window and it goes through all vm’s successfully but when i go to run in powershell i get the below error:-

Invoke-Command : Cannot validate argument on parameter ‘ScriptBlock’. The argument is null. Provide a valid value for the argument, and then try running
the command again.
At line:1 char:72

  • … nd -ComputerName $vm.name ${function:Get-SpeculationControlSettings}}
  •                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    • CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (:slight_smile: [Invoke-Command], ParameterBindingValidationException
    • FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentValidationError,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeCommandCommand

even more strage is when i open up another ISE program i get the above error.

im sure something very simple…please help

thanks in advance
